CPSC, Weil-McLain Announce Recall of Ultra 155 & 230 Gas Boilers
The Weil-McLain Company, of Michigan City, Ind.
Hazard
Weil-McLain has determined that the gas valve mounting screws on the recalled boilers may have not been fully tightened during the assembly process and may have come loose in transportation.

Remedy
Weil-McLain is providing distributors and installers with a "Safety Notice" package for each boiler containing instructions, replacement screws and a reimbursement form. Installers are also asked to tighten the gas valve union. Installers will be reimbursed $50 for each boiler they inspect.
